Generally speaking, feeding wildlife while visiting an outdoor area isn't recommended. Animals can quickly become reliant on humans for food, and then they're out of luck when those humans leave. When you live out in the forest, however, you may be able to offer animal friends consistent, safe snacks that don't mess with their diet or natural instincts. Just look at the Daily Hiss Crew! This is a group of raccoons and cats from Maine who all found a friend (and chef) in one generous resident. She feeds them all from the comfort of her porch, and she's taken in many of the cats as indoor/outdoor pets.
